Step 1Assemble your supplies. You can use any 2 or 4 hole buttons; I just happened to like this assorted pack. Make sure your needle will pass thru your 6/0 beads.
-
Step 2On a 3 yard length of floss, thread a seed bead aprox. 5" from the end, and stitch back thru it.
-
Step 3Add a button to the floss, leaving a little space between it and the bead.
-
Step 4Add another bead and stitch back thru it.
-
Step 5Continue adding beads and buttons until the beaded length is 15".
-
Step 6At 15", leave a 5" gap and string another bead. Repeat the process for another 15".
-
Step 7Repeat this stringing pattern a total of 4 times.
-
Step 8Gather your 4 segments together.
-
Step 9Tie the loose ends together, so that the unbeaded loop is aprox. the same length as the others (5").
-
Step 10Gather the ends into 2 jumprings.
-
Step 11Grasp the jumprings and tie an overhand knot in the floss, between the jump rings and the beaded segments.
-
Step 12Add a clasp to one jumpring amd a chain to the other. With a large jumpring, add a button dangle.
-
Step 13Admire your sewing skills!
